Power problems including blackouts, brownouts, power surges and line noise interference threaten your investment! They can damage or destroy PCs and other expensive equipment, wipe out valuable data and files, and degrade component performance. Get protected against these all-too-common power threats with Tripp Lite’s AVR900U UPS System. It provides reliable battery backup that can keep entry-level PC systems operational for up to 45 minutes during blackouts. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects low-voltage conditions (brownouts) and overvoltages back to safe 120V power without draining the UPS battery. Surge suppression and EMI/RFI line noise filtering prevent hardware damage and performance problems such as poor-quality audio and video output.

The AVR900U’S 900VA/480-watt power rating provides ample capacity for a wide range of home and office PC setups, workstations, point-of-sale systems and more. It features 6 battery-supported AC outlets for computer, monitor and other vital system peripherals, plus 6 surge suppression-only outlets for accessories not requiring battery support. One set of RJ11 jacks protects connected equipment on a tel/DSL line. One USB communication port plus free PowerAlert software (available via Web download) enables unattended system shutdown and file saves in case of a prolonged power failure. The AVR900U comes with $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment (USA/Canada only) and a 3-year product warranty.

Key Features

Ideal for Protection of Home or Office PCs and Peripherals

With reliable battery backup, Automatic Voltage Regulation, tel/modem jacks and an HID-compliant USB port, the AVR900U offers a complete power protection solution for a wide range of home and office electronics. The AVR900U features a split-outlet design with 12 total AC outlets: 6 to provide battery backup support and surge protection for computers, monitors and other critical components; 6 to provide surge protection only for peripherals such as printers and scanners.

Reliable Battery Backup

UPS battery backup support enables you to work through short power failures, and provides time to save files and perform an orderly system shutdown in case of a prolonged blackout. The AVR900U features an internal battery that provides 2.5 min. of battery support for a full load (480 watts), 10 min. for a half-load (240 watts) or 45 min. for a single PC. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the UPS battery fully charged so that backup power will always be available if needed.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

AVR protects your equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems that can be caused by low-voltage conditions, commonly known as brownouts. The AVR900U can correct brownouts as low as 83V and overvoltages as high as 147V back to 120V without drawing on battery backup power that may be needed to support your equipment during a blackout.

Surge Suppression

A sudden power surge or spike can damage or destroy electronic components and wipe out irreplaceable data. The AVR900U features a 420-joule surge suppression rating to protect all connected components and the data they contain.

EMI/RFI Line Noise Filtering

Various electrical and radio sources can cause disruptive interference on the AC line. This line noise is a common cause of incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video performance problems. The AVR900U incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise, preventing it from affecting your equipment.

Signal Line Protection

The AVR900U includes one set of tel/DSL (RJ11) jacks (cable included) to protect a standard dialup/DSL phone connection. A built-in splitter protects two devices sharing the same line.

USB Port and Free PowerAlert Software

The AVR900U features an HID-compliant USB port (USB cable included). Used with Tripp Lite’s free PowerAlert software (available from Tripp Lite as a Web download), this USB port enables safe unattended system shutdown and file saves in the event of a prolonged power failure. The USB port also enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows® and Mac OS® X.

Versatile Installation Options

The compact AVR900U features a space-saving, ultra-compact housing that fits on a desktop, a shelf or almost anywhere. Its 6-ft. power cord features a space-saving right-angle plug that allows furniture to be placed flush against the wall. The AVR900U’s housing is equipped with integrated keyhole mounting flanges for secure wall-mount installation.

Environmentally Responsible

The AVR900U is manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) guidelines to minimize the use of hazardous materials, and its replaceable internal battery is 100% recyclable.

Ultimate Peace of Mind

The AVR900U comes with $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment (USA/Canada only) and a 3-year product warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid product, but additional features desired., October 21, 2008

By 

Brent Davingman (Bloomington, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tripp Lite AVR900U AVR 900VA Compact Line-Interactive UPS (12 Outlets) (Electronics)

Pros: Works with Macintosh Leopard's Energy System Preferences. 12 outlets and 4 are spaced for AC adapters, nothing else like it for this price!

Cons: No software for Macintosh so can't monitor UPS for voltage drops. Likewise, I can see the power level (which seems to be plenty for my 19" CRT, Dual G4, speakers, wireless access point, USB hub, speakers, wireless mouse, DSL modem, and cordless phone) but I don't know how much time I have left or other "niceties" that additional software would likely bring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent compact UPS with replaceable battery, April 13, 2011

This review is from: Tripp Lite AVR900U AVR 900VA Compact Line-Interactive UPS (12 Outlets) (Electronics)

Most compact UPSes don't have a user replaceable battery. Since the batteries typically only last 3 years it's a good idea to find a ups where you can change out the battery.

This one is simple and small. Just what I needed.

The one grip is that I was not easy for me to programmatically change the settings to disable the alarm beeping. I have a mac (which makes basic set up dead easy with this ups) but they don't have a downloadable program for the mac. Anyways you can always open and remove the alarm speaker.

I'm a musician who plays pedal steel & guitar. In many of the venues I work in the AC power fluctuates enough that it makes the tone of my amplifiers change during the performance. After I started using the Tripp Lite AVR 900va UPS the tone of my amps stay much more stable. I love it! I also use it in my recording studio to protect my expensive DAW (digital audio workstation) from voltage spikes & sags. I should have purchased one a long time ago. I highly recommend it!
